Understanding the behavior of no-regret dynamics in general N-player games is a fundamental question in online learning and game theory. A folk result in the field states that, in finite games, the empirical frequency of play under no-regret learning converges to the game's set of coarse correlated equilibria. By contrast, our understanding of how the day-to-day behavior of the dynamics correlates to the game's Nash equilibria is much more limited, and only partial results are known for certain classes of games (such as zero-sum or congestion games). In this paper, we study the dynamics of follow the regularized leader (FTRL), arguably the most well-studied class of no-regret dynamics, and we establish a sweeping negative result showing that the notion of mixed Nash equilibrium is antithetical to no-regret learning. Specifically, we show that any Nash equilibrium which is not strict (in that every player has a unique best response) cannot be stable and attracting under the dynamics of FTRL. This result has significant implications for predicting the outcome of a learning process as it shows unequivocally that only strict (and hence, pure) Nash equilibria can emerge as stable limit points thereof.

The development of user interfaces based on vision and speech requires the solution of a challenging statistical inference problem: The intentions and actions of multiple individuals must be inferred from noisy and ambiguous data. We argue that Bayesian network models are an attractive statistical framework for cue fusion in these applications. Bayes nets combine a natural mechanism for expressing contextual information with efficient algorithms for learning and inference. We illustrate these points through the development of a Bayes net model for detecting when a user is speaking. The model combines four simple vision sensors: face detection, skin color, skin texture, and mouth motion. We present some promising experimental results.

Recently, channel attention-guided convolutional networks (ConvNets) have shown great advance on visual recognition tasks. However, they mainly exploit coarse first-order statistics to characterize holistic image and rarely focus on long-range feature dependencies, which limits the representation power in a certain. To handle above limitations, this paper proposes a novel attention-guided second-order pooling convolutional network (ASP-Net). ASP-Net introduces bilinear pooling that captures pairwise feature interactions to model second-order statistics. Meanwhile, it explicitly collects long-range dependencies via non-local operations, thus providing a global view in lower layers. Then, the second-order statistics and non-local context features are fused to obtain the enhanced representation for predicting channel-wise attention map and scaling convolution features. Experiment results on three commonly used datasets illuminate that ASP-Net outperforms its counterparts and achieves competitive performance.

Computation visualization or algorithm animation is becoming an increasingly popular and effective way of teaching, debugging, and analyzing algorithms. Over the past ten years, several algorithm animation systems have been produced. Proposed here is a new approach and framework for visualizing three-dimensional algorithms or computations. Implemented on a prototype algorithm animation system, this framework, termed the vector-guided view, produces insightful visualizations of three-dimensional computation by effectively solving the problems of 3D scene navigation. The creation of this framework was motivated by the desire to produce visualizations of an increasingly large and complex set of rendering algorithms now ubiquitous in the field of computer graphics. To show the potential of this framework, a dynamic visualization of a recursive ray-tracing program has been created. A brief summary of the algorithm animation system is presented.

The assessment of power quality is vital for evaluating the existing state of the electricity supply, pinpointing its deficiencies, and guiding enhancements to guarantee a stable and consistent power supply, particularly in the face of rising demands from both industrial and residential sectors. In the context of Bangladesh, however, most substation data are still recorded manually, despite ongoing digitization efforts. This paper focuses on the quality of digitized transcription of handwritten substation data to determine its suitability for further analytical use. Our analysis revealed that the paper-based data from the substations exhibited significant gaps, undermining its reliability and accuracy. Through comprehensive evaluation, we concluded that the data, in its current state, is inadequate for in-depth analysis without the application of robust imputation methods. By tackling these challenges, our research aims to contribute to more informed decision-making and the efficient management of Bangladesh’s electrical infrastructure. This study not only diagnoses the current shortcomings in data quality but also lays the groundwork for future improvements in the country’s approach to energy data management.
